1.5 stars for half the book. The premise sounded intriguing, and it starts out well, but within 100 pages turns into a cliche. Intelligent supernatural woman, who has way more power than any other of her ilk, but doesn't trust it or want to use it. Falls for super-macho powerful male of another species (who breaks into her apartment and watches her while she sleeps!) and thinks it's okay for him to dictate her every move while not telling her the things she needs to know. Because, of course, she loooooves him...blech. Sometimes I don't mind this but the older I get the more I want to throw the book across the room - this was a library book so I just quit. It gets 1.5 stars because I kinda liked the idea of the alchemist's book, not that they do anything with it for 200 pages.
